Terrified my baby isn't gonna make it.:-[

I'm 7 weeks and I know I have a check up coming soon or already missed one, but I haven't been to the doctor. I don't have anyone to take me, can my baby make it without going to the doctor, until it's time to push it out.? My bf is always at "work" and so is his parents.

There was a time when there was no prenatal care, ideally though in some cases it can mean the difference between a healthy baby and not. You could try to find a midwife, explain your situation, they may be willing to come to you instead of you go to them. If you are on medicaid like another momma mentioned sometimes they can assist. To answer your question, no just because you haven't seen a Dr means that your baby is gonna day. But you should try to get in atleast by the second trimester!
